There's supporting American businesses in principle alone, there's supporting American businesses based on marketing and then there's the rarest bird of all, supporting American based on the totality of where the product and profit comes from and goes to.
My STI was made in Texas, more or less by Texans, but I don’t know who made the little screws, who molded the plastics, where the machines that did those things came from or who owns them or what company transported those parts to STI using what brand of trucks and what % of the parts in those trucks are American made all the way down to the base materials…you see how exhausting this gets? And that’s just for one decidedly “American-Made” gun.
